Clapham attack suspect 'exposed himself to woman near bus stop'

Sexual offences emerge as last sighting is revealed

CHEMICAL attack suspect Abdul Ezedi exposed himself to a woman near a bus stop and groped another while he waited to be granted asylum.

Afghan-born Ezedi carried out the offences in Newcastle in 2017, just a few months after he entered Britain illegally hidden in a lorry.

He pleaded guilty and in 2018 was handed a suspended jail sentence.

He went on to successfully claim asylum at his third attempt after a priest told a judge Ezedi had converted to Christianity and was "wholly committed" to it.
